French customs officials in Nice seized counterfeit underwear carrying the Walt Disney Co. brand. Had they been genuine, the goods would have been worth $1.1 million, a customs official said.
The 101,460 items of women's underwear, with pictures of Disney characters such as Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck, were discovered in a truck driven by two Bulgarian nationals who are now in police custody. The truck was headed to Italy.
Counterfeit goods frequently arrive in France from East Asian countries and Turkey and are shipped to Eastern Europe and South America.
Last week, 100,000 pairs of counterfeit Chanel eyeglasses were seized near Paris.
